Riverside Handyman Services

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!

The two handymen that were assigned to my project (Alex & Oscar) handled everything professionally. They were always on time!

They put together all my beds, closets, tv console, drawers, shelvings, and mounted two TVs, and hung miscellaneous things around my unit.

We work from home so, we had to get our office area up and running quickly and Riverside Handyman did that for us!

They are honest! Trustworthy! And very reasonably priced !!! I was able to leave the handymen alone in my unit!!

I hired them around 4-5 times and they worked tirelessly to get everything I needed done on time.

They cleaned up after themselves and always communicated with me regarding things that needed my attention.

Robert was very great at communication and scheduling and always got back to me quickly.

I will definitely be using this company moving forward!

I used Riverside for some final jobs on my condo . They were very communicative , timely and did the job very well ( I liked the fact they were mindful of not making a mess). A bit on the expensive side but these days , good work is hard to come by - highly recommend

Robert is quick to respond and extremely professional. The kitchen faucet in my rented condo was leaking bad. I gave Robert the details and tenants contact info, he gave me the price best and worse case. Super easy. He set up the appointment w them. Turned out the faucet was busted. He let me know and even went to Home Depot to get and and go back same day to fix the sink. Wait it gets better. He saw that the grout was shoddy btwn the counter and backsplash, so he also picked up caulk and resealed the problem area.

Riverside HandyMan - In! It's rare I can't wait for a new problem knowing now I got a guy!

Hired Riverside to wallpaper a small bathroom as well as change a cartridge on my shower fixture which had rusted.  

In terms of the wallpaper, they did a decent job.  It took a lot more time than I expected so in the future I would push for a flat fee on something like this rather than go hourly.

For the shower fixture, I wish they had told me this was beyond their expertise.  They fiddled around for 3+ hours and installed the cartridge incorrectly and unevenly.  They then said my fixture hardware was broken because it could not be installed on top of the cartridge (due to the way they had installed it).  A few days later I called a plumber and they were able to fix it in 30 minutes without any issues.  Luckily, they did not charge for this but I have a feeling the wallpaper job was padded due to the time they spent here.

We had an issue with our switch in the bathroom. It should operate the ceiling light but instead, it shorts the circuit whenever we try to turn it on. So we reached out via Yelp and then text, and scheduling was super easy. They were super responsive and were able to come within the next two days. They gave us a time frame between 9 and 10 and came on time. It took them about an hour from start to finish to figure out and fix the problem (turns out we also need a brand new light).

They followed Covid protocols by wearing a mask (much appreciated!) and they also took off their shoes before entering the apartment (also appreciated!). Pricing was also cheaper than a few other quotes we received. Would definitely reach out again if we ever need their services again.

Finished installing and bringing up to code an outside light.  First electrician -- Joe Cunningham-- skipped out on me after I paid him in full before he finished the job.  I know ... I'm an idiot.  
A handyman came to my rescue and was very professional and finished the job for a reasonable price within a reasonable time frame.  I passed HOB inspection without a hitch.  
FYI, I'm posting this review almost a year later because I'm back again to look for a plumber!

We had Riverside Handyman Services come again to replace the two toilets in our apartment. They were very professional, not disruptive, and had the toilets replaced in a few hours. We'll definitely be reaching out again for anything else we need done.

I called Robert about a leak, he came in the next day. And he directly arranged the schedule with me tenant, and send pictures after he fixed the issues.
Love the service! Highly recommended!

Robert & his colleague did an great job in our apartment. They hung 2 heavy mirrors, tightened plumbing fixtures, fixed a light fixture, patched & repainted drywall, fixed a doorknob & also hung an electrical panel. When I called to let Robert know I was not 100% satisfied with one item, he promptly came back & fixed it at no charge. Overall, I would highly recommend Riverside Handyman Services.

Real stand up guys. I'm in Hoboken and finding someone, let alone someone reliable is like looking for a needle in a haystack. After I was exhausted trying to get my 'regular' guys in Hoboken and failed on multiple occasions I contacted Robert out of desperation and without any anticipation of whether they could install a home water filter. Robert responded immediately and provided a quick quote based on pictures I sent him - easy as that. The work was scheduled less than a week later and not the typical long wait to get anything done around here. Robert and his partner were real zen and I actually felt at ease given they were so polite and kind. I really do recommend them and will be hiring them for many more jobs. Reliable help is hard to find and these guys are IT

Robert the rescue!!

We woke up Sunday morning with no hot water  and searched yelp and luckily found Riverside Handyman services. Robert setup an appointment with us the following day between 8-10am and arrived at 9am and got right to work. A few hours later we were enjoying a nice hot shower, thanks guys!

Contacted them, they were back in touch within 30 mins.as thery daid thry would be on my text.  They were considerate, clean and respectful.  I would call them again in a heartbeat. m

Would definitely recommend them! They were not only responsive, but quick to come and do the work. I had them do some wall patchwork, bidet installation, light installation, and moving of a light box in the wall. I don't think there's anything they can't handle! And reasonably priced as well. This should be your first call if you need ANYTHING done!

Quick, awesome work. Very reasonably priced. I contacted Robert about a leaky faucet, and he was at my apartment within a few hours fixing the problem.

I already have a few projects in mind, and I will definitely be going back to him.

We've used Riverside twice and had really great experiences with them-- first to replace a broken faucet in the kitchen, then for what we thought was a broken electrical outlet that turned out to be a giant job because whoever had worked on the house last had made a huge mistake. I'm really grateful to have found them - showed up on the same day, got the job done same day, reasonable pricing, professional and clean work. Really appreciated the mask use and taking shoes off when coming inside given the situation with the pandemic as well. I'm sure we'll be calling on them in the future!

Rob and team are the best. They not only did a great job in tilling my bathroom, but also helped me in addressing unexpected event free of additional charge ( closet door stucked from inside and cann't get the door open)

Robert and team were fantastic! They helped replace the tracks on our closet doors which had gotten warped and prevented the doors from closing. I highly recommend him!

Making some cosmetic changes to my guest bathroom and needed a handyman to install the light, mirror, shelving and new sink & tub fixtures. I emailed Robert through his website on a Wednesday afternoon and he arrived the very next day. Robert is professional and prompt. After his first visit, Robert helped me, via text, shop for correct fixtures (what I originally bought wouldn't work). Once the new fixtures arrived, Robert came back to do that part of the job. His help with the shopping was much appreciated, as I had no idea what I was looking at! Robert is efficient and polite. We still have a few more items on the punch list, so thankfully he'll be back again in a few days. I highly recommend him!

I contacted Robert on a Sunday when I had an issue with a leak in my shower, he was able to come over that afternoon and solve the problem. We were doing a kitchen and bath remodel at the time, and given Robert's great work I hired him to plumb the kitchen sink, bathroom sinks and redo the shower plumbing. All now work flawlessly and look amazing! I will happily hire Robert and his team the next time something comes up

Robert helped us in a pinch with some last minute electrical work and relocation of a bedroom light switch. He and his colleague arrived on time, supplied the necessary materials, and left the area as if they were never there - all for an incredibly fair price. You would be silly not to hire these guys!

Robert was professional and timely. He did a great job and was able to get the job done in one day. Great quality work and affordable price.

Precision work! Very much appreciate Robert fixing our faucet valve, repairing it, fixing our door and our blinds.

I selected to contact Riverside Handyman Services after reading the excellent reviews. Sadly, I didn't get the same experience. Although the owner reached out twice (once via phone and the other time via text), he never responded to the texts after I sent him the pictures he requested. I always say, if you cannot do the job (or not interested), have at least the courtesy to say so, but the failure to respond is not professional.

This was the biggest nightmare of my life! Their team comes across great initially until they start working and you realize they don't know what they're doing. After hours and hours of them doing shotty workmanship that they have no skill at, for example the electrician actually electrocuted himself several times while he was working and didn't take any safety measures whatsoever and then other odd jobs around the house I told them to please make sure the door was shut and the check is on the door open. The worst thing was when my puppy got loose and they never said one word about it the dog ran into the street and almost got hit by a car we had to run all over the entire neighborhood to try to get our pet safely home. I was furious when I got back and ask them to explain why they left the door open for the 10th time I didn't bother to tell me that the dog got loose they said they didn't think it would be an issue. They were just numbskulls, their English was horrible I had a terrible time being able to understand what I was saying   There were so many levels of unprofessional and unskilled workmanship I really don't have enough words or ability to articulate how horrible the experience was.

Riverside Handyman is great. I woke up one Sunday morning to a leak in my closet seeping from the ceiling. No clue where it came from but I called Robert at Riverside who sent a guy within the hour. He was extremely helpful in determining the source of the leak and giving us good guidance on what to do (the leak originated from 5 floors up in my apartment building). The handyman was prompt, courteous, patient and delivered great service. Would definitely recommend!

They fixed a broken door and some outlets that weren't working. They were professional and did a great job. Highly recommend.

Robert was great - fast response, showed up prepared, changed my toilet pump in less than 30 minutes, and stayed true to his original estimate. Happy with his services and would use him again in a minute.

Excellent workmanship. Prompt and reasonable rates.  I would hire Robert back and recommend him highly.

I needed AC units installed last minute. The response was quick, he was able to schedule a time for the same day, and the work was done quickly with no issues. I would highly recommend him and will be calling again if I need any other work done. Keep up the good work.

Robert and his team at Riverside exemplify great service and value. They responded to an inquiry on a Saturday night within 30 minutes, texted and called to confirm the project scope (in my case repairing a broken shower valve and estimating costs for a series of other home improvement projects), arrived bright and early and on time the next day, talked me through what they needed to do and asked if I was okay with any additional charges as they went (the additional cost being for parts which they located, removed, and showed me and provided receipts for), and most importantly, fixed the shower valve that had been serviced but never really repaired by a handful of others. Mostly every plumber that has looked at this issue before has simply replaced the valve (2 in the past 2 years). In this case, Robert and his team took the time to really diagnose the root cause and found an old cartridge that clearly required replacement many years prior; if speed were the only measure, they'd still be ahead of other handymen by a long shot but to see the true attention to detail spoke greater to their expertise.

If you live in Hoboken, you know that finding a reliable communicative and actually handy handyman can be challenging. I can't count the number of hours I've spent online and on the phone locating a plumber, electrician, or general handy service. I was so pleased to hear back from Robert so quickly, and to see his teams work was really effective and fairly priced.

I've already asked them to come back for other projects; I'll be sure to share an update on how those go as well but I'm sure it will be much the same given their approach. Look no further Hoboken, we have a new handyman team!

We needed a bookcase assembled and two televisions mounted. Robert was communicative and did excellent work on our job. Definitely recommended.

Robert and his crew were great- responsive, professional, friendly and did a great job fixing a leak and repairing drywall in my condo. Robert is busy so we had to reschedule a few times but he communicates often and keeps you up to date on when he will arrive and how long the project will take. 10/10 would use him again.

Robert and his colleague did an excellent job installing our micro/hood combination. The installation was slightly tricky due to the location of our backsplash, but Robert navigated that situation with ease. In addition to his good work, I appreciate his professionalism: he was on time for the job, wore a mask, left the place clean and communicated clearly. His price was slightly above that of his competitors (~$80) but he was the only one who actually showed up when he said he would to do the work.

Excellent work!
Professional, courteous, fair.  He went above and beyond.
I would recommend to anyone, even my mother.

I am very glad I contacted these guys. I needed an AC unit installed, and Robert Chavez responded right away, was very cordial and professional. Communication was great, he did a great job, showed up exactly when he said he would. I highly recommend him.

they did a great job recaulking my shower, including repairing some other areas adjacent to the tub.  Pricing was fair/reasonable, and they were very responsive/easy to schedule the work.  Thank you!

Riverside is everything I expect in a service provider - responsive, on time, and perform quality work.  Would definitely hire them again.

Loved the way they operate, reached out to them as I had a problem in my rental unit. Robert and team reached out to my tenant and organised the whole repair. The service and price is impeccable. Thank you

Robert is very responsive and professional, and he did a great job on some recent work in my home.

Loved that he came in a mask for the job. Robert was very prompt in responding and did a good job. I would definitely hire him again.

Excellent service.  Robert stayed late to finish my job and did a very thorough job of troubleshooting. Faucet was not a common model, so he needed to problem-solve on the spot. Will hire again!
